One suggestion is to build DPDK and link against the DPDK library to get rte_memcpy or link using the rte_memcpy.o file. Also if DPDK compiles without problems, then add a ‘V=1’ to the make line as in ‘make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc V=1’ which will show you the compile line for rte_memcpy.c

I hope this helps.
